I’ve been envious of Kate Middleton’s style for years. She somehow manages the perfect balance of looking polished and professional (but never stuffy) and looking totally chic. One thing I’ve noticed is that she tends to lean on the same closet staples to build her looks. She may technically be a princess, but she's the queen of the capsule wardrobe.
Needless to say, I'm inspired. But since I don’t have the fashion budget of a royal (if only), I scoured H&M, Zara and Amazon—aka my go-to budget retailers—for affordable lookalikes to recreate her fits. If you're also craving an easy rotation of classics like Catherine's, shop finds starting at $17 below.
